Tower defence-strategy title Defense Grid 2 launches on Nintendo Switch early next month, it has been confirmed.
This new edition of the game (it originally launched on other platforms back in 2014) combines the base game with the five-mission expansion 'DG2: Aftermath' which was previously only available in VR. You'll therefore have dozens of maps and hundreds of tower defence missions to complete while simultaneously going for top spot on the leaderboards.
The game is said to feature "an expansive story filled with colourful personalities and a wide variety of challenges suited for beginners and pros alike". The Switch version makes use of the console's split Joy-Con nicely by allowing players to team up, one controller each; you can always play the entire campaign on your own if you prefer, though.
Defense Grid 2 arrives on Switch on 7th February; pre-orders start from 25th January. If you do decide to pre-order, you'll be able to secure 10% off the $19.99 retail price.
Does this one look like your kind of thing? Will you be teaming up with a friend or going solo? Let us know in the comments.

Loved this game on Xbox so will get this because portable is too good to miss
Real good news, spent countless hours on Defense Grid 1 on PC.
I hope it's good because I have always really loved tower defense games. What will really make it is touch screen controls.
I'll keep an eye on it...
This will be great to have on the Switch! Good news.
At a decent price too, that's cool
Cannot wait. Loved the first game on Xbox. Will definitely get this day one!
Omg, I love tower defense and if this is good, I’ll pre-buy it just to make sure it’s ready to play the second it’s released. I watched about 20 seconds before I just stopped so that I am not spoiling anything.
This is a really addictive game very hard to put down
DG1 is easily my favourite TD game.
I think I own this already on steam, but might double dip just I put it in a place I'll actually play it.
...Actually, I may just try this out via Steam for now, since I'm saving up for important stuff at the moment. Besides, it's super cheap at the moment at Humble Bundle.
Yup, loved this game, will totally pick this up portably.
This is GREAT!! I LOVED the first one and the second is great too. Will be buying (again). It helps a lot that I absolutely adore Tower Defense games like this.
is there multiplayer besides co-op?
can't wait.
spent around 100 hours on each of the platforms which this has been released on so far and i'll be making this my 4th purchase
Just purchased this, its my b'day today so this couldn't be better timed for me
